Weber & Scher Mfg. Co. Inc For over 60 years, Weber & Scher has on the manufacture and supply of metal tape handling and application systems. This includes the manufacture of seam welding and corrugating systems for use in the production of power cables. specialized in equipment and technology for the wire and cable industry, with an emphasis

Macromeric has a long history of custom formulation expertise for unique applications, complemented by its significant development, testing and analytical laboratory capacity and competence. T&T Marketing Inc T&T Marketing Inc, a distributor for the wire and cable industry, will be introducing several new products at IWCS, including a high performance TPE product. TPE 5575R is a highly flame retardant wire and cable compound that is both RoHS and REACH compliant, with a broad range of excellent performance attributes. T&T will shortly begin manufacture of several products based on the formulations of Santo prene 8261-87 TPV, Santoprene 8451-87W232 TPV and Santoprene 8453-87W232 TPV, since ExxonMobil Chemical Company made the decision to suspend the manufacture

of these grades. The formulations have been transferred to T&T. Low smoke zero-halogen compounds from DYM are also a point of interest. These products are believed unique in their high degree of flame retardancy and excellent processability.

the two tape edges formed longitudinally around the cable core. A series of tools form the metal tape into a tube, which is followed by a precision weld box section to accomplish the final rounding of the tube and properly positions the tape edge seam for passage under the weld torch. A critical component within this line is the model COR-400 welded metal sheath corrugating machine, designed for imparting helical or annular corrugations into the welded metal sheath in tandem with the longitudinal welding operation.

Web Industries Web Industries provides contract

manufacturing and development services to the wire and cable industry; services that include converting metals, polymers or non-wovens, extruding tape, slitting and rewinding, or recycling fiber optic spools. For nearly 25 years, Web Industries has worked closely with telecommunications, control and power and energy cable manufacturers and suppliers to address their need for fast, reliable service, while minimizing inventory and freight costs. Web Industries is also the producer of Superbulk ® polypropylene cable filler. Designed not to wick or absorb water, lightweight Superbulk is acid-, alkali-, and mildew-resistant. The 10.4” TFT color display is designed to lead the operator simply and intuitively via a Windows CE-based operating system. A tough touch panel tilts, can be positioned to suit the operator’s requirements, and is completely removable. The alphaJET evo prints TrueType fonts without loss of speed. Logos and graphics can be created with a PC graphics program and transferred as a bitmap to the ink jet printer. It operates with the full range of GEM ink jet fluids.

Weber & Scher will be presenting its Gatweld longitudinal metal tape seam welding and corrugating line for the production of power cables with a longitudinal seam weld and corrugated metal tape sheath construction. This system utilizes the TIG (GTAW) welding process to weld
